"Let me first start by apologizing to Jack for such a delayed review of his services.

If you are looking for a true professional masseuse, Jack is the man. I hired Jack to come to my home and give chair massages to a group of ladies for a birthday celebration. Jack arrived on time with all of his own equipment. The only thing he requested was a trash can! The ladies at the party loved the massages and it was a relaxing way to get the party started. Jack was extremely professional and he is an absolutely awesome masseuse. I personally asked for a more deep tissue massage and I was sore for two days! (in a good way)

I have had many massages in the Austin area and I have a hard time finding someone who asks the right questions before they start the massage. Jack took the time to talk to each guest and find out what they liked and didn't like in a massage. He also focused on each individual guests problem areas. I will be contacting Jack soon to schedule a massage for my son's birthday.

I cannot say enough good things about this experience!! Jack is the real deal as a masseuse and you will not be disappointed!"

"I am an athlete and entrepreneur and my experience with Jack could not have gone better. He showed up 20 minutes prior to get properly set up. He was professional, courteous, exceptionally thorough in his preparation. The actual massage itself was heaven. I got 90 minutes of a deep sports massage. He was careful to take time to understand my issues and needs. I subsequently have set up a bi-weekly appointment with Jack. I could not have been more pleased."

~ Jessica Ewing, Austin, Texas – via Thumbtack

"Jack had an excellent professional manner. He was great at communicating about setting up an appointment as well as during the session. I feel the benefits of the session weeks later. I hired him for a 90-minute massage, not reiki. He did some reiki at the end, which I am unsure how to evaluate; it was interesting and didn't hurt."

"I hired Jack as a present for my mother's 60th birthday and he also ended up administering massages to two of her friends. They will not stop blowing up my phone about how incredible Jack was. And these are ladies that are not typically easy to please. Jack must be extremely good at this job!"

Jack was great! As a fellow LMT for 18+ years, I'm pretty picky when it comes to massage. He honored my request for a firm Swedish full-body massage with lots of compression and focused work on my low back (I guess it's because I told him when MTs spend too much time on Trigger Points I want to turn around and smack 'em). All joking aside, Jack was very attentive, checking in to see if the pressure was okay. Overall, a pretty good massage for this sore NY-er!

~ Austin, Texas – via Soothe

___

Jack was GREAT!!!! He came right away after a mix up from the appointment center at 9:30pm. He worked two knots out of my neck and a phenomenal job on my back. He was pleasant so accommodating to me. I've been getting massages for years and he is one of three best massage therapists I've ever had. Great Hands, great spirit, asked questions, made sure I was OK and comfortable thru the entire session. He did appear upset or tired because of the hour and was a wonderful person.

Five stars. Completely relaxed me both literally & figuratively, as this was my first in-home experience. Perfect pressure, thorough, on-time/early; great personality, very comfortable bed. Highly recommended without hesitation.

~ Elizabeth McKaskle, Austin, Texas – via Thumbtack

Personable, professional, kind and knowledgeable. I would recommend him. My mother who had never experienced a massage in her 70+ years of life was comfortable with his style and so happy the rest of the day that she got to be pampered. Thank you!

~ Marin Mundahl, Kyle, Texas – via Thumbtack

~ Austin, Texas – via Soothe

Jack was absolutely fantastic! His level of experience and technique were so great for me. Jack was so professional and courteous, he asked if I had any specific areas of concern, he told me how he massaged and checked to make sure that was OK with me. The level of pressure and all the trouble spots we previously discussed were spot on. It's nice to be able to get a massage on Sunday evening, roll into bed and be ready for my work week. I will ask for Jack again! EXCELLENT!

Jack is the real deal-a genuinely caring soul who believes in the power of massage and who has the technique to give genuinely relaxing massages. He is a fine professional-consistently taking the time to check in at each appointment and during the appointment. And he puts what he hears into the session. This time truly supports a great experience. It has been some time since I have found a therapist who works for me. All in all, he knows what he is doing and has a heart of gold. He is an important part my self-care!

~ Ann McNair, Austin, Texas

___

Jack is so incredibly passionate about giving his massages! He put his whole heart and soul into it! He was so attentive to every ache on my body. Not only did he spend extra time on me but he gave me the BEST massage I've ever had!

~ Kim Stanford, Austin, Texas

You have proven to be the best message therapist I have ever had with consistently excellent results. I come in with muscles tied in knots due to my travel and work schedules and you leave me feeling so relaxed; like overcooked spaghetti. After seeing you, I find I get the best night's sleep ever and awaken refreshed and revived. Even my chiropractor sees immediate changes after a session with you; able to manipulate the bones with ease. Best of all, you listen! When I tell you not to touch a body part, you respect my boundaries. When I tell you that I have a knot in a muscle, you gently work it until that knot is released. I appreciate you and look forward to a long continuing relationship. I think getting regular messages with you is what keeps me healthy! Sincerely, Carol

I received a one hour full body massage from Jack Bales. I've never felt so free from all the cares of the day. It's one of the few times I've felt totally relaxed both physically and mentally. Jack's soothing touch slowed down my mind and restored my aching body. Because I'm a sign language interpreter I have a lot of repetitive motion stress. I've gone to other massage therapist in the past; some were to hard, some were to soft. Jack Bales is just right!

~ Wendy Brinkman, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

You and your cohort performed an exceptional massage for myself and the bridal party, and I would be obliged to provide a brief testimony. Before scheduling a massage with you, I had no idea such affordable options were available, so I was pleasantly surprised how simple the entire process turned out to be from beginning to end! You were always prompt in your email responses and answered all questions thoroughly and without delay which made for easy and stress-free planning. You were punctual, intuitive, and very flexible with all of the ladies creating an amazingly comfortable, extremely relaxing afternoon for us all. You came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Thank you for maintaining such a high standard and quality of relaxation for the gals; they really enjoyed themselves!

If ever given the opportunity to do it all again, I would not pass it up! Thanks so much!
